Five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand won the 2014 FIDE Candidates Chess tournament after playing a draw against Sergey Karjakin of Russia.

Anand has an unassailable 1.5 point lead with one more round to play in the tournament.

With this victory, Anand wins the right to challenge World Champion Magnus Carlsen in November. Carlsen had dethroned Anand in the World Championship match in Chennai in 2013.
